The answer is ribosomes.

The ribosome is the molecular machine inside the cell that makes protein from amino acids in a process called translation. It binds to a messenger RNA (mRNA) and reads the information contained in the sequence of bases of the mRNA.

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) containing amino acids enter the ribosome in a special pocket or binding site, called the acceptor site (A site). Once correctly bound, the ribosome can add the amino acid on the tRNA to the growing protein chain, linking each amino acid to another with pin point accuracy.

Compare and contrast p-dependent and p-independent termination of transcription in prokaryotes.

iVinArrow [24]

Compare and contrast two mechanisms for transcriptional termination in bacteria.

(rho)p-dependent termination: requires rut (rho utilization site), rho protein binds, moves towards 3' end, DNA encodes GC rich for stem loop, RNApoly pauses, rho protein catches up and separates RNA-DNA hybrid

(rho)p-independent termination: Uracil-rich sequence causes RNApoly to pause, stabilized by NusA near open complex RNA exit, UA bonds to weak to hold, DNA-RNA hybrid dissociates AKA intrinsic termination

Explain how the body maintains blood glucose concentration. (10 pts.)

Maurinko [17]

When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back intoglucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal.

What are the function of roots?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Root, in botany, that part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary functions are anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods. The root differs from the stem mainly by lacking leaf scars and buds, having a root cap, and having branches that originate from internal tissue rather than from buds.
